HE STUDY OF HERALDRY has been

9M regarded by many as dry and unprofitable ,

yet on the least inquiry into its origin and intent it will be found not only interesting to

«A “K

the layman , butx

in many respects essential toh istorians and antiquaries . The pride of an

cestry is innate in nearly every one , and manyincidents faintly written upon the pages of history would foreverhave remained dark but for the light flashed on them by thetorch of Heraldry . Americans are very ardent genealogists , andin many cases have as full a title to armorial bearings as theirforeign cous ins , so that it is only natural that they sh ould sharewith the world in general some curios ity as to the right to beararms .

The arms-bearing families in the United States are principallythose who trace their origin to the Knickerbocker families ofN ew York , the Cavaliers of the South , the P uritans of N ew

England , the Q uakers of P ennsylvania and Huguenot ex iles ofnoble blood . I t must be remembered that the early settlers ,although oft en styled merchants and yeomen , were mostly menof good family , their seals and much of the plate brought withthem from the Old W orld being engraved with their Arms . TheW ar of the Revolution destroyed Britain

’s domination over theColonies , but it did not , and could not , abrogate the right ofAmericans to Coat Armor. I f such eminent patriots as theL ees , Carrolls , Adamses, Franklins, Jays and L ivingstones didnot hes itate to use their armorial bearings , their descendants of the

present day, entitled to the same distinction , need not fear to follow . Most conclus ive , however , of all proofs of the Americanright to use Coat A rmor is the ruling ofW ash ington h imself

,

who said

I t is far from my design to intimate any opinion that Her

aldry , Coat Armor, etc . , might not be rendered conduciveto publ ic and private use with us, or that they can haveany tendency unfriendly to the purest spirit of republicanism . On the contrary, a different conclusion is deduciblefrom the practice of Congress and the states , all of wh ichhave established some kind of Armorial devices to auth en

t icat e their ofli cial instruments .”

The science of heraldry or armory is indeed of very ancientorigin . W hen the College of H eralds was establ ished in England , in 1483 , its business was to register Grants of Arms and tosee that such distinctions were not borne illegally ; in otherwords , to bring order out of chaos that must have ex isted for along time. A s many abuses found their way into all matterstouching descent and Arms , the H eralds

V is itations were laterinstituted , in the early s ixteenth century , for the purpose of revising and recording the pedigrees of famil ies entitled to CoatArmor ; and the bus iness of distinguish ing between proper andimproper assumptions of Coat Armor is still an important one.

All persons who can deduce descent from an ancestor whosearmorial ens igns have been acknowledged in any one of the V isitat ion s, are entitled to carry those Arms by right of inheritance .

W hen , however, no such descent can be shown , a person must ,if it is poss ible, prove h imself to be descended from some onewhose right h as been admitted ; from a Grantee, or in fault ofthat proof must become a Grantee h imself.

D uring the R evolutionary and C iv il W ars in th is country,many publ ic and private records bearing seals and impress ions of

Arms were destroyed . Seals are of all records those on wh ichthe greatest rel iance can be placed ; for being contemporary witnesses no doubt can ex ist of their h istorical value . These records were frequently the only proof extant that certain familieswere entitled by inheritance to Coat Armor , and as the descendants of many of these families have continued to use a Coat ofArms , the following authority for their so doing is of importance .

In the L ansdown MS . 870(F0 . 88 ) W illiam D ugdale , GarterKing of Arms , under date of 15 June , 1668 , writes as follows

I t is incumbent that a man doe look over h is own ev iden ces for some seals of armes , for perhaps it appeares inthem , and if soe and they have used it from the beginningof Q ueen E lizabeth

s reigne , or about that time , I shallthen allowe thereof, for our directions are limiting us soeto doe , and not a shorter prescription of usage .

Here we have the highest heraldic authority in the kingdom ,

Garter King of Arms , expressly stating that a man is just ified inus ing a Coat of Arms , providing that it has been in use by h isfamily for one hundred years , or about that time . W e must alsobear in mind that th is opinion was given at a time when theH eralds

V is itations were still in force . A t the present day ,

D ugdale’

s ruling is followed by U lster King of Arms , who willco nfirm by P atent any Arms wh ich have been continuously bornefor at least three generations , or else for at least one hundredyears . These rul ings do away with the qu ibble raised by a wellknown h istorical society that the usage ofCoats of Arms in anymanner, shape or form should be discountenanced , for the reason ,

as alleged , that so few families trace their ancestry to the parentstock across the water.

In this second edition of the present work data relative toeight hundred additional families have been included , so that theRegistry now offers descriptions of nearly two thousand coats of

arms,with the name of the first of the fam ily in America, the

date of h is arrival and place of settlement, and , in the majorityof instances , the town or country whence he came .

The plan of the work resembles in the main that of Burke’

sGeneral Armory in England , except that the latter includes onlythe arms of persons of British ancestry, whereas the Americanbook goes far ,ther including the arms of those whose ancestorscame from Continental Europe . The descriptions of the arms ,and the data, carefully collated and verified , have been insertedonly when actual examination of the necessary records has shownthe fam ily to be entitled to the distinction .

The scope of the R egistry , not being limited to any prescribed locality, but embracing the known arm-bearing familiesof all the States in the Union , makes it the most comprehens ivebook of the kind publ ished . I ts very unusual interest to Americans des iring for any reason to have records of their descent isself-ev ident .
